At Soma Luna we take great pride in the candles we make. These discount unscented pillar candles are a solid color all the way through. Our black candles have NO purple tint - they are true black. These candles have a high gloss finish that you will not find anywhere else. Our pillar candles are hand poured with full attention paid to sharpness and detail. Our 9.5 inch pillars will burn for more than 5 days if left burning continuously. These pillar candles measure 9.5 inches tall, 3 inches in diameter and weigh over 2 pounds. We use only pure cotton wicks and true paraffin wax. Made in Indiana, USA!
